CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: nginx / vsftpd (CVE-2021-3618)

high Nessus Plugin ID 172913

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of nginx / vsftpd installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2021-3618 advisory.

 - ALPACA is an application layer protocol content confusion attack, exploiting TLS servers implementing different protocols but using compatible certificates, such as multi-domain or wildcard certificates. A MiTM attacker having access to victim's traffic at the TCP/IP layer can redirect traffic from one subdomain to another, resulting in a valid TLS session. This breaks the authentication of TLS and cross- protocol attacks may be possible where the behavior of one protocol service may compromise the other at the application layer. (CVE-2021-3618)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
